EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Tithonus, Auroras Husband, Turned into a Grasshopper" transports us to a realm where mythology intertwines with the beauty of nature. Created by the talented artist Bernard Picart in 1731, this print showcases his mastery in capturing intricate details and evoking emotions. The scene unfolds amidst a lush landscape adorned with towering trees and vibrant foliage. At its center stands Tithonus, once Aurora's beloved husband but now transformed into a graceful grasshopper. His wings shimmer delicately as he embraces his lover, Cupid. Their love transcends physical boundaries as they share an intimate moment under the gentle touch of dawn. Picart skillfully portrays the essence of metamorphosis through this enchanting image. The hybrid creature that Tithonus has become symbolizes both fragility and resilience in the face of change. It reminds us that even when faced with adversity or transformation, love can endure and flourish. Drawing inspiration from Ovid's Metamorphoses and Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Tithonus". Picart invites viewers to reflect on themes such as love's eternal nature and the passage of time. This exquisite engraving not only captures our imagination but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of art throughout history. Displayed here is just one example from Bridgeman Images' extensive collection – an artistic treasure trove that offers glimpses into different eras and cultures while celebrating creativity in all its forms.
